These VMK take you through the game design process of creating a simple word search game using the Shader Engine. The Shader Engine VMK series can be used as the starting point for this project if you have completed all the VMK up to 110. Alternatively you can purchase the Zing VMK Series which comes with a pre-compiled debug version of the Shader Engine or the Complete Zing Game Development bundle.

Game Class

The Zing game class is created in this VMK. This class will hold all of the Zing game logic and is directly integrated into the Shader Engine. By the end of the video, OpenGL will be setup and ready to render the splash screen which is coming in the next VMK.
